The hell you say!Just in case anyone stumbles on this here and not elsewhere, there's a new interview with Bluesman creator Rob Vollmar up at Newsarama. Read it and then go buy the book. There's a hard cover collection of Bluesman coming out, and it might very well be the first book I will have purchased in over a year I think.

It's a gorgeous movie, and a decent enough concept, there's more than enough here to make this at least a good film, if not a great one.
